Open AccessSex differences in oncogenic mutational processes
Sex differences have been observed in multiple facets of cancer epidemiology, treatment and biology, and in most cancers outside the sex organs. Efforts to link these clinical differences to specific molecular...

Transgenerational epigenetic and transcriptomic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin exposure in rat
In rats, direct exposure to TCDD causes myriad toxicities. Exposed rats experience hepatotoxicity, wasting syndrome and immune suppression, amongst others. “Inherited exposure”, as occurs in the F3 generation ...

Open AccessGenomic and human papillomavirus profiling of an oral cancer cohort identifies TP53 as a predictor of overall survival
The genomic landscape of head and neck cancer has been reported through The Cancer Genome Atlas project. We attempt to determine if high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) or frequently mutated genes are correlat...

Comparative toxicoproteogenomics of mouse and rat liver identifies TCDD-resistance genes
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) mediates many toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). However, the AHR alone does not explain the widely different outcomes among organisms. To identify th...

Open AccessBPG: Seamless, automated and interactive visualization of scientific data
We introduce BPG, a framework for generating publication-quality, highly-customizable plots in the R statistical environment.

Open AccessCompendium of TCDD-mediated transcriptomic response datasets in mammalian model systems
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the most potent congener of the dioxin class of environmental contaminants. Exposure to TCDD causes a wide range of toxic outcomes, ranging from chloracne to acute le...

Genomic hallmarks of localized, non-indolent prostate cancer
Prostate tumours are highly variable in their response to therapies, but clinically available prognostic factors can explain only a fraction of this heterogeneity. Here we analysed 200 whole-genome sequences a...

Open Access2,3,7,8 Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-induced RNA abundance changes identify Ackr3, Col18a1, Cyb5a and Glud1 as candidate mediators of toxicity
2,3,7,8 Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is an aromatic, long-lived environmental contaminant. While the pathogenesis of TCDD-induced toxicity is poorly understood, it has been shown that the aryl hydrocarbon r...

Open AccessA discrete cluster of urinary biomarkers discriminates between active systemic lupus erythematosus patients with and without glomerulonephritis
Management of lupus nephritis (LN) would be greatly aided by the discovery of biomarkers that accurately reflect changes in disease activity. Here, we used a proteomics approach to identify potential urinary b...

Open AccessVennDiagramWeb: a web application for the generation of highly customizable Venn and Euler diagrams
Visualization of data generated by high-throughput, high-dimensionality experiments is rapidly becoming a rate-limiting step in computational biology. There is an ongoing need to quickly develop high-quality v...

Open AccessMale and female mice show significant differences in hepatic transcriptomic response to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
2,3,7,8–tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dixion (TCDD) is the most potent of the dioxin congeners, capable of causing a wide range of toxic effects across numerous animal models. Previous studies have demonstrated that males...

Spatial genomic heterogeneity within localized, multifocal prostate cancer
Paul Boutros, Robert Bristow and colleagues report a molecular analysis of the spatial heterogeneity of clinically localized, multifocal prostate cancer. They find that multifocal tumors are highly heterogeneo...

Open AccessCross-species transcriptomic analysis elucidates constitutive aryl hydrocarbon receptor activity
Research on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) has largely focused on variations in toxic outcomes resulting from its activation by halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. But the AHR also plays key roles in regul...
